Love Behind the Veiled Terror 38
[One year before the accident that happened to Valerie and her father]“Val, this is Jose, he will be escorting me.”Professor Benjamin, Valerie's father, led the handsome man into the living room where she was sitting and reading her favorite novel. She gasped when she saw the guest her father had brought.Jeez! The man was very handsome, like a god's creation, with dark eyes and strong facial lines, like a god.The man stretched out his hand and Valerie immediately replied nervously, creating a faint smile on the man's lips.“I am Jose, your father's boss who is also my boss, assigned me to look after Professor Benjamin.”“Why do you have to be taken care of, Father?” Valerie turned towards her father while frowning, confused.Professor Benjamin gave Jose a confused look, but the man even made a flat face, unwilling to help. It kept Professor Benjamin busy himself figuring out why.“I am on an important and secret project, honey.”“Secret project?”Valerie was still frowning, her fa

Jose sat in his room. This room is directly opposite Valerie's room, his eyes are watching the whole room.Well, not bad for a professor's house. He was actually not used to living in an ordinary room like this, let alone in a house that belonged to an ordinary person. The room that Jose prepared was usually the best room in a five-star hotel.However, currently Jose is carrying out his duties. Well, people should be afraid of him. He is a very dangerous assassin, famous in the dark world as a killer who never fails.Actually, Jose never considered murdering to be his career. In the past, his life was hard because he was a child who came from an orphanage with the name Jose Alejandro, a name given to him by his orphanage's mother.They gave him the name because they did not even know who he was when he was found crying at the door of the orphanage, almost turning blue from the cold outside.As a teenager, Jose leaves the orphanage, fleeing to live independently, but then he is trapped

Once again there seemed to be a rush in the kitchen, causing Jose to frown. He has been living in this tiny house for almost two months and feels a strange feeling. It was as if he was in his own house and as if Valerie was supposed to be wherever she was.Jose always held back, although sometimes he looked at Valerie and felt his excitement suddenly rise. Sometimes he rushes to take cold showers to cool off his passion, smiles wryly and hopes this is just one of the effects of his celibacy for a long time without women.He had originally thought he would feel this passion for any woman who fit his criteria, but it did not. Many beautiful women are of course willing to satisfy his desires, but he only wants Valerie, he doesn't want anyone else.With calm steps and wearing a flat expression, Jose stepped into the kitchen.“What is this?”He saw Valerie was slicing a large slice of lemon sponge cake in a circle and placing it in a grid of boxes. In another box were rice, fried noodles,

Their relationship had changed since the kiss by the river. Valerie did not hold back her rapidly growing interest in Jose and vice versa. The man could no longer hold back from showing his affection for her.They always spent time together and enjoyed it a lot. Sometimes they just stay at home, do not go anywhere, sitting reading with a cup of hot coffee at the table. After a long time, Jose would pull Valerie into his arms and kiss her, then they would make out.However, apparently Jose is still holding back from doing anything more. Valerie is an inexperienced innocent woman and Jose can't afford to break that innocence just because he wants to vent his passion. He had thought about it for a long time. They had only met for a while, but their drive for passion and the bond between them was intense. It made him believe that Valerie was where he was anchored.Then one night, when Valerie came home she found the room so dark and dense, her forehead frowned.Did the lights go out? Howe

After a long journey, they landed at an international airport. They continued their journey to Tuscany, a region known for its vineyards and olive groves.Even though she was tired, Valerie really enjoyed the trip and felt a shame if she fell asleep. She loved the place, the scenery, the atmosphere and the beauty of the ancient cities and the endless peaceful sunflower fields in the countryside.Jose explained that they are now in the area between Florence and Siena, which also includes the wine region, Chianti, and also San Gimignano. The place where Jose himself has quite extensive vineyards there.They have to travel about eighty kilometers to the city of Lucca, a city that sits on a plateau with the Alps towering above it.During the next few hours, Valerie finally fell asleep and only woke up when Jose touched her shoulder gently. She was fast asleep on his lap.“We've arrived at my town,” murmured Jose hoarsely, looking at Valerie with deep and passionate eyes.She was blown awa

[Back to the present]Valerie opened her eyes and gasped and stared in confusion at the room around her. The strong smell of medicine and all over the whitewashed walls let her know where she was. There was an IV in her arm and when she felt her head, there was a bandage on it, a little painful to touch.Valerie's heart was churning rapidly and her tears were flowing profusely. She remembered everything; everything, from start to finish, from her first meeting with Jose to her breakup due to the accident.At that instant, Valerie suddenly remembered Jose's sad expression when she shot him. His expression was so hurt even though the man called her affectionately.Valerie cried out loud regretfully, realizing that she had shot her own husband, realizing that she might have killed the husband she loved so dearly.Jose Santiago is her husband, her soulmate who has been separated because of circumstances.***“You cannot stand yet, sir!” Don, who entered the room where Jose was being treat

Once home, Valerie immediately rushed into it, looking for her father. She found her father studying the papers on his desk.“Father!” Valerie exclaimed, making professor Benjamin raise his head and stare at Valerie in surprise. This is natural because Jose and Valerie did not inform her father of their arrival.“Valerie,” her father muttered, still stunned. The old man then turned to face Jose who was standing behind Valerie and put down their trunks. “Why are you here?”Valerie stared firmly at her father. “Jose has told me everything, Father!” her gaze was pitiful. “Why did not you tell me everything? Maybe we'll get over it together. Now, do not you ever think that I'll just want to leave you to face it all here by yourself. Father must come with me to Italy.”Professor Benjamin still looks confused, so Jose has to break the ice. “Get some rest, Val, it's late at night. Your father will definitely want to rest too, we'll talk about everything tomorrow, shall we?”Valerie looked li

It was true that the operation was done on the responsibility of Doctor Jesline, but he still felt guilty. Periodically, Nichole checked on Manuel's condition. However, until evening he did not regain consciousness."Nichol, I know you're worried. Never mind, go back to your office, do your report," Jesline ordered Nichol back.It was all her fault, had Doctor Adam not left sooner this might not have happened.

She repeatedly sighed, hoping that Manuel would wake up soon."Excuse me, ma'am, the patient's family has come," said a nurse.Jesline's chest was beating faster. She didn't know what to say. Explaining that it was her fault puzzled her. "Okay, please tell them to wait outside," Jesline pleaded.

On his way to the airport, Manuel was really speeding because he had already bought a round trip ticket so he could be at headquarters the next day. However, because of his incredible speed, Manuel lost control.The car swerved sideways, he had a moment to feel the sting of pain and a painful glint in his eyes. He still had time to think how ironic this incident was.This is almost the same as what happened to Uncle Miguel and Vera, the accident on the way to the airport. At the last second he imagined the beautiful faces of his parents and younger sister, before losing consciousness.Manuel's car hit a big tree so hard that the front of the car was crushed against it.

Valerie widened her eyes in confusion. She looked at Jose for answers and her husband nodded his head. Nod his head! Does that mean what Miguel Alvaro said is true? That she is their daughter? But how could that be? How can?Manuel seemed to understand how confused and shocked Valerie was. He cleared his throat, trying to re-lead the conversation.“You remember, don't you, Valerie? I once came up to you and said you reminded me of someone? You actually remind me of Uncle Miguel and Aunt Vera. There are parts of you that make me feel like you are a lot like them. It made me suspicious, especially when Jose expressed his suspicions to me too.”Valerie looked at the Alvaro husband and wife. The woman named Vera started sobbing again. She looked at Valerie affectionately, but Valerie was still in doubt.She looked at Jose. “Are you suspicious of me?”Jose nodded his head. “At first I was not aware, but then James told me, that you are not fit to be Professor Benjamin's daughter. You do no

Valerie stared at the candles and a warm feeling flooded through her, making her realize how much her husband loved her.“For some reason, when I saw the candles, when I still lost my memory, I felt a tremendous jolt. It made me dizzy, nauseous and wanted to pass out.” Valerie looked at Jose lovingly. “I used to think it had something to do with bad memories, but it wasn't. My reaction was like that, maybe because my heart remembers it but my brain can't remember.”Valerie curled up tighter in Jose's embrace. Their eyes both enjoyed the beautiful scenery.Jose kissed Valerie's nose gently. “I just have no mercy, putting up those signs everywher

When May awoke, she found herself in bed, with George sitting beside her. This man studied her deeply.May momentarily lost orientation of where she was and what was happening to her, but then she remembered again. She looked at George and realized that the man's eyes were swollen.“Hey,” George muttered. “I am worried about you because it took you so long to wake up. Your partner's agent had sobered up a moment ago.”May quickly remembered her role. She immediately sat down and pretended to be surprised.“What happened, George? Why am I here… what about… Valerie! What about Valerie?!”George looked at her sadly, then shook his head. “We lost her.”“Oh my God!” May covered her mouth with her fingers. “I am sorry, George, I failed to look after her, it's all my fault.”“Sshh!” George put his fingers on May's lips and smiled softly. “This is not your fault. I was negligent and I also did not have the strength to keep my eyes on her, so I could only place two agents. I should have known,

The journey seems long. The car took Valerie to the airport and was then directed down a special hallway where a private jet awaited.Without a word, Valerie boarded the plane, waiting for the torturous minutes until it finally landed on a private landing area. The car was waiting there and then carried Valerie through the quiet streets.It is late at night, but life doesn't seem to separate itself at night. There are still many people roaming and passing on the streets, looking so happy. When she saw the uniqueness that existed in every corner, Valerie realized that she was on the island of the gods, Bali.The car was getting faster and faster, entering a quiet road, through rice fields and then a road full of big trees on the left and right. They drove into a deserted mountainous area, then stopped when they entered the large, tall fence, which opened and closed automatically when their car entered the grounds.There was a house there, a large house covered in shady trees so that it

May watched all these scenes in silence as she stood guard outside the door of Valerie's hospital room. George even walked past her and walked away in a huff, unaware of her presence at the door.It made May's mind hurt. When there was Valerie, George did not even have time to glance at her.She turned to an agent who was her friend on guard. There is only one person to worry about. George could not give full guard to Valerie, because his boss did not give him the consent to continue to detain her, so the man only got permission to place two agents in front of her room.So of course this made it easier for her to free Valerie. The instructions from Don were clear, that once Valerie woke up, she should arrange for Valerie's escape.There was a surprise, of course, that she had not had the chance to report to Don and Mr. Jose who were now recovering, that Valerie's memory had returned.
